  • Patent number: 11755655
    Abstract: A method is provided for generating a ranked list of candidate responders. In some embodiments, the method includes receiving a question from a user and generating a question feature vector representing an intent of the question and a first skill set inferred from the question. The method also includes for one or more candidate responders, generating a candidate feature vector representing a skill set and questions associated with the respective candidate responder; computing a reputation score based on questions and user feedback associated with the respective candidate responder; and computing, based on the question feature vector, candidate feature vector, and reputation score, a probability score representing a prediction of the quality of an answer that would be provided by the respective candidate responder if the input question were routed to the respective candidate responder. The method further includes generating a ranked list of candidate responders using the computed probability scores.

  • Patent number: 10936477
    Abstract: Systems, apparatus, methods and computer program products for end-to-end user interface component testing in a database system. More particularly, a test script is executed, where the test script is configured to simulate user interactions with one or more user interface components of a web application. The test script is configured to load a user interface component using a network address, request a manipulation of the user interface component, and obtain in response to requesting the manipulation of the user interface component, information describing a state of the user interface component following the manipulation of the user interface component.
